Microsoft has discontinued the skype kit service in an attempt to
retire the older versions of skype, in a basic sense, like they did
with msn messenger, to force the end user to use the newer versions of
skype, which are bloated, and cluttered. It's almost like, they have
shut down the fullterm accessibility. This is not to say that the
regular skype isn't accessible but to suggest that with all of the
bloated adds and other related stuff, it complicates things when
trying to teach a new user how to use skype. No longer have we a
simple skype program or lookalike. Just like they took out the search
for skype users option which to me was a plus as I met a lot of new
people that way. For what it's worth, this doesn't surprise me in the
least.
